At the same time that this society further develops by further specializing, it also fragments further too, as life experiences diverge, so that all the more people it takes to organize to move in any given direction, the more diverging wills and interests must be taken into account to mobilize that organization. The same thing happens as a society expands and becomes richer in time and space, and more people are excluded from the process. This is part of what makes radical system-wide change so difficult: the further you scale out, the more difficult it becomes. A trap forms over time then.
However there are some commonalities, which can range anywhere from mutual antagonism to the collective desire to escape the trap.
